Hi there! Here is a quick preview for my next big animation about our cells and how they can "heal" diseases. Will be great. Hopefully. Any feedback is welcome :)

Hi guys, it's been a while since my last video. I'm on to something new and it takes a lot of time :) -- but it will be posted soon. See some of the pictures if you like :)

Very tired but with a little success. I did a trip to the IWM to get some infos about the Dora (Schwerer Gustav). Sadly, there wasn't much new information about the biggest gun in history.

The M16 was a great success. Thanks a lot! Dora and Schwerer Gustav are next. The first walk cycle test for the WW2 soldier and the clothing are on the way :)

Almost done! The last minute is in the making :) / I just finished the VFX for the difference of M16s with flash hider and without.

The release is getting closer... In the M16 animation, we will discuss "smokeless powder residue" in detail, and how and why it results in jamming issues. The image shows the small unburned particles in the air...

The new M16 animation will discuss the differences between an "Automatic trigger group" and a "Semi-Automatic trigger group" in detail.

The answer to the question asked 1 day ago, is: 2 rounds!
The green disconnector cam always rotates. This is also true in "Semi Mode." So, when in "Burst Mode," only 2 rounds are fired. This is also described in "Rifle Marksmanship M16-/M4-Series Weapons": "The M16A2/4 and M4 disconnectors have a three-cam mechanism that continuously rotates with each firing cycle. Based on the position of the disconnector cam, the first trigger pull (after initial selection of the BURST position) can produce one, two, or three firing cycles [...]" (4-19)

Wow, a lot of answers have been sent. Thanks alot. Now, here is a question for experts :)
You select "Burst Mode," and you fire 3 rounds. Then you select "Semi Mode," and you fire 1 round. Question: If you then select "Burst Mode" again, how many rounds will be fired? 1 round, 2 rounds, or 3 rounds?
